Black Lemon Gouda Crostini with Honey & Thyme

Perfect for:

Evening wine, chic platters, or surprising your guests with “What is that flavour?!”

Ingredients

• 1 baguette, sliced into thin rounds

• Olive oil for brushing

• 100g Black Lemon Gouda, thinly sliced or shaved

• A drizzle of honey

• Fresh thyme (or microgreens for a modern touch)

• Cracked black pepper

How to Make

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.

2. Brush baguette slices lightly with olive oil and toast for 5–7 minutes until golden.

3. Lay warm slices on a platter and top each with a thin piece of Black Lemon Gouda.

4. Drizzle a little honey over the top — not too much, just enough to tease the lemony tang.

5. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves and a twist of black pepper.

6. Serve immediately while the cheese is slightly soft — every bite is a balance of sweet, citrus, and mystery.

🖤 Tip: Pair with a crisp Pinot Gris or a citrusy craft gin for that “oh-la-la” moment.
